Abstract: The knife (18) consists of a concentrically positioned primary blade (1) (with an overall height (H)) and two adjacent supplementary external blades (17) arranged alongside. These have a lesser height (h) and a thickness (e) which is double the thickness (d) of the primary knife blade. The number of blades in the perforating knife can be altered to suit the requirement of a particular use. The knife blade (1) has teeth on one side which work against a counter perforation cylinder. The knife blades can all be removed and exchanged by other combinations of knives. The thickness (D) of the perforation knife is constant and is formed by the combination of the primary knife blade and the supplementary blades. Whatever combination of blades is used, he overall thickness is always twice the thickness of the supplementary blades plus the thickness of the primary blade.

Abstract: A splicer for optical fibers. The splicer is assembled from two polymer body halves (14a, 14b). When assembled the body halves function as spring clamps. Internal to the body halves is a metallic splice element (82) which is assembled from two mirror image halves (82a, 82b). The polymer body halves (14a, 14b) and the metallic splice element body halves (82a, 82b) include passageways (54, 66, 109) for the two fibers to be spliced and passageways (88, 90, 103) for a tool that is used to operate the splicer so that a fiber can be inserted into or removed therefrom. During assembly a portion of the body halves are fused together to provide a unitized construction the spring clamps. The splicer may be inserted in a panel. A ferrule (306) is used to hold the splicer in the panel.

Abstract: The deflection angles (aN,aZ) at the diffuser inlet, both at the hub and at the cylinder of the turbine, are set solely so as to give an even pressure gradient over the passage height at the outlet from the last row of blades (7A). Flow-guiding ribs are provided inside the retardation zone of the diffuser, so as to suppress turbulence, and the diffuser is divided by a guide plate. The diffuser has an axial inlet and a radial outlet, and is divided between them by the plate (60), which curves radially in the outwards direction, into inner and outer passages (50,51). In the outer passage, flow through the ribs takes place in the radial direction, and in the inner one in the diagonal direction. To avoid interference with the last row of blades, in the inner passage the ratio of the distance of the ribs (a) from the blade outlet to the rib pitch can be 0.5:1. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for measuring relative angular position about a roll-axis, a yaw-axis, and a pitch-axis includes a source assembly (12) and a receiver assembly (16). A source assembly emits (14) a rotationally polarized carrier wave laser beam. A laser beam from a laser diode (52) is directed through a linear polarizer (56) and then through the center of a rotating half-wave plate (58). The plate is secured to a hollow shaft (60) of an electric motor (62). The beam travels through the plate and through the hollow shaft. A reference signal corresponding to the rotational modulation imposed by the rotating plate is obtained using a flag (72) which is secured to the shaft and positioned to actuate an optical encoder (70). After leaving the source assembly and reaching the receiver assembly, the beam travels through another linear polarizer (80), a neutral density filter (82), and an aplanatic achromatic lens (86) to a two-dimensional position sensing detector (90).

Abstract: A power MOSFET includes a trenched gate which defines a plurality of MOSFET cells. A protective diffusion is created, preferably in an inactive cell, so as to form a diode that is connected in parallel with the channel region in each of the MOSFET cells. The protective diffusion, which replaces the deep central diffusion taught in U.S. Patent No. 5,072,266, prevents impact ionization and the resulting generation of carriers near the corners of the gate trench, which can damage or rupture the gate oxide layer. Moreover, the diode can be designed to have a breakdown voltage which limits the strength of the electric field across the gate oxide layer. The elimination of a deep central diffusion permits an increase in cell density and improves the on-resistance of the MOSFET.

Abstract: Objective lens for the general projection of objects or images, such as a television image or the page of a book, consisting of mirrors, with corrected astigmatism, this being achieved in two different ways: by differentiating the curvature radius of the two median lines of each mirror's surface, or by placing refracting pieces (2) at the inlet and (or) outlet of the light on or from the objective lens. These pieces may be used to correct other aberrations in accordance with the aims for which the objective lens is used. The two mirrors (1) are placed at an angle of approximately 45°, and the projected light intersects the incident light at an angle of approximately 90°, thereby enabling the distortion of one mirror to have the opposite sign of the distortion of the other mirror.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that allows a computer system to trust both program

circumventing the model of trust. A file system incorporates two levels of validation for
programs and data. A first level of validation specifies sources that the user has decided
are trustworthy or untrustworthy. A second level of validation specifies sources that the
system itself considers trustworthy or untrustworthy. For data to be acceptable, it must be
acceptable to both levels of checking. In addition, both the user and the system can
specify multiple acceptable signatures and further allows various ones of the multiple
signatures to have different levels of access to the system.
